Frequently asked questions.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a safe, relaxation-based state where your conscious and subconscious mind align. You remain fully aware, and it’s a space where real change can happen - no clucking like a chicken involved!
How does hypnotherapy work?
Solution-Focused Hypnotherapy is a brief, practical, neuroscience-based approach that combines talking therapy with gentle hypnosis. In sessions, we’ll focus on your goals, explore small positive steps forward, and use relaxation techniques to calm the mind and body. Hypnosis helps your brain shift into a natural, trance-like state (similar to daydreaming), where your subconscious is more open to helpful suggestions. Along the way, we draw on tools from CBT (like reshaping unhelpful thought patterns) and NLP (like positive visualisation and future-focused language) to strengthen change. This means you can regain control of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, without dwelling on the past or reliving trauma.
What can hypnotherapy help with?
Hypnotherapy can support a wide range of issues, including anxiety, stress, depression, OCD, panic attacks, low confidence, sleep difficulties, fears, phobias, and more. If you’re wondering if Hypnotherapy can support you, reach out for a free, no obligation, Consultation.
